Server trouble

[Pussy]

Anyone know what the problem is with accessing KB using xtra as the server?

[MSTRS]

Yeah problems here too. IE and Firefox. Can only get through via proxy.
Same thing happened a while back, maybe a year?

[slofox]

Vodafone broadband connection down this am as well. Back up now...

[Pussy]

Works okay via my clearnet dialup.... VERY slow, though

Yep, same here....Telstra Clear, slower than dial up ATM :angry2:

I'm on TC Broadband, and KB is working great for me at the moment.

Perhaps KB had a hickup.

[ajturbo]

I had KB drop out for me around 4:30pm. It seems a little flakey today.

[Mental Trousers]

What problem?? :rockon:

[StoneY]

Still cant access from work, tracert falls over on 13th hop so aint blocked at the proxy

Sweet as from home on both the xtra connection and the telstra one

Works on Citylink

Never mind, I had a days rest from BIKEOI insanity

Best to add other DNS servers to your connection.

Yes.... in theory you can, however, at last check, I believe Australia and NZ use different firmware versions in their respective sticks (and this caused endless problems and arguments). Clients that have them and are regularly travelling in NZ and Oz are carrying one stick and sim for each country.

In theory, you should be able to have one Vodem, and a sim for each country, otherwise, the data roaming charges will rob you blind.

Hmmmm..... xtra mucking me around again!
Can only get on KB via proxy server!
Anyone else having the problem?

[Ixion]

Yep. Exact same. I'm poxied in right now. Y's think with all their billions they could sort their routing out Heaven knows how many can't get in and don't know how to poxy

[gwigs]

Yep I dont know how to proxy...xtra is always bloody useless...:angry2:
Their Big Time plan is more a Big Rip off..:angry2:

Do any clever people here know why I cannot access the forum (again) with firefox & internet explorer with my nz IP address but I can with an off shore IP..? :angry:

[Virago]

You with Xtra...?

You're not the only one - even the Site Admin can't log on at the moment.

[george formby]

I started a new post on this (I'm a t**t) sorry, can anybody put it in this thread. Pleeeese. I managed to access the forum with an offshore IP. Puzz-led.

Yup, telecon. I have a Hawaiian IP address which is what I'm using now. Perfic.

[Sidewinder]

teltra clear and havn't had a problem all day

[spookytooth]

seems like the same teliscum problem as before

[Pussy]

Can't even get on through our Clear dialup, either.
The proxy I'm using won't allow me to retrieve PMs.
This service from Telecom sucks!

[Mental Trousers]

I don't know what's going on. I wasn't able to get on yesterday and I'm not even with Xtra. However, my ISP is a downstream customer of Telecoms. I'm surprised that whatever the problem was that it affected those downstream for so long. Usually the coporates and ISP's that buy from Telecom are the first to be fixed with Telecom home users being shoved to the end of the queue.

Whatever it was it only seemed to affect parts of the country cos Spank had no problem what so ever on Xtra.

[FROSTY]

heads up. I had no KB access all day yesterday. Im on a telecom plan

[Motu]

This happens quite often to me - we can all blame extra...but it only effects this site.Nothing else goes down,only KB.I'm used to diagnosing cars not computers...but I know where I would be looking at a reoccurring problem involving only one component of a system.

I blame the mods
